Does anyone here remember what saddle Carlton Corsas had?

I got one of these for Christmas in 1973. Thanks Dad. I loved this bike. It was green and 10 speed. It had chrome forks with Weinemann brakes and Huret gears. I remember there not being much difference in size between the 2 chain rings on the chainset so was more like a 5 Speed really. Now my question is about the seat. I thought it had a Brooks leather saddle biut I remember it being softer and narrower than all the Brooks Saddles I remember. I saw a Wrights saddle for sale on this site that looked the same so was wondering if it was a Wrights and not a Brooks. I always thought I'd had a Brooks that had gone soft and there was like a channel in the middle by the 3 holes which I thought was the seat being deformed. It was so comfortable that seat whatever it was. So does anyone remember if it was a Brooks or a Wrights that the Corsa came with? Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for your replies, chaps. My bike was slightly smaller. I think it had a 19" frame but definately had 26" wheels so may have been different spec with a Wrights saddle. Wish I still had it.
